DNS Provider Sync · Bunny DNS
bunny.net made DNS hosting free for up to 500 domains. Free DNS still needs one thing it can't give itself: someone watching it. DNS Spy connects directly to your bunny.net account and watches every record.
No credit card required · 7-day trial · Read-only API access
When bunny.net dropped all query fees, Bunny DNS became one of the best free DNS deals on the internet — genuinely fast, globally anycast, and integrated with their CDN. But free hosting doesn't include an independent watchdog. DNS Spy imports your complete Bunny DNS record list and monitors it from resolvers around the world: change alerts, deletion detection, nameserver sync checking, and a versioned history of every value. We wrote a full review of Bunny DNS on our blog if you're still deciding.
Bunny DNS zones can contain record types that aren't standard DNS at all: Pull Zone links that resolve to bunny.net's CDN edge, HTTP redirects, and script-backed records. DNS Spy recognizes Bunny's custom types during import and treats them correctly — standard records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, CAA, NS and more) are imported and monitored, while Bunny-only pseudo-records are skipped rather than generating meaningless alerts. Records linked to Pull Zones are monitored by what they actually resolve to at the edge.
bunny.net currently issues one API key per account, with full access — there's no scoped read-only DNS token like Cloudflare offers. DNS Spy stores your key encrypted, never displays it again, and only ever performs read operations against the DNS endpoints. If you rotate the key, updating the connection takes thirty seconds, and DNS Spy emails your team owner automatically if a stored key stops working.
In the bunny.net dashboard, go to Account Settings → API and copy your API key.
Note: bunny.net keys grant full account access — there is no read-only scope. DNS Spy stores the key encrypted and only ever reads.
Paste the key into DNS Spy under Team Settings → DNS Providers and click Test Connection.
Import your zones — records arrive instantly and resolver monitoring begins.
Read more about how imports, recurring sync, and resolver-based monitoring work on the DNS Provider Sync feature page.
Copy your API key from bunny.net (Account Settings → API), connect it to DNS Spy, and import your zones. Every standard DNS record is monitored from resolvers worldwide with alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or PagerDuty.
Yes — bunny.net removed all DNS query fees, making Bunny DNS free for up to 500 domains per account. That makes independent monitoring more important, not less: free services don't come with an SLA-backed watchdog. DNS Spy fills that role from outside bunny.net's infrastructure.
Pull Zone-linked records resolve to bunny.net's CDN edge rather than a static value you set. DNS Spy skips Bunny-only pseudo-record types during import (redirects, scripts) and monitors real DNS records by what they actually resolve to — so CDN-backed records don't generate false change alerts.
No. Like most modern managed DNS providers, bunny.net doesn't offer AXFR. The API is the complete-zone path, and DNS Spy's provider sync automates it with recurring re-checks so new records are discovered automatically.
Connect with a read-only token, import every record, and get alerted the moment anything changes. Free for 7 days.
